Offering patients an injection is more effective than the current care of steroid tablets and cuts the need for further treatment by 30%, according to a study. Benralizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets specific white blood cells, called eosinophils, to reduce lung inflammation. It is currently used as a repeat treatment for severe asthma at a low dose, but a new clinical trial has found that a higher single dose can be very effective if injected at the time of a flare-up. The findings, published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine, included 158 people who needed medical attention in A&E for their asthma or COPD attack (COPD is a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties). Patients were given a quick blood test to see what type of attack they were having, with those suffering an “eosinophilic exacerbation” involving eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) being suitable for treatment. Around 50% of asthma attacks are eosinophilic exacerbations, as are 30% of COPD ones, according to the scientists. The clinical trial, led by King’s College London and carried out at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, saw patients randomly split into three groups. One group received the benralizumab injection and dummy tablets, another received standard care (prednisolone steroids 30mg daily for five days) and a dummy injection, and the third group received both the benralizumab injection and steroids. After 28 days, respiratory symptoms of cough, wheeze, breathlessness and sputum were found to be better in people on benralizumab. And after 90 days, there were four times fewer people in the benralizumab group who failed treatment compared with those receiving steroids. Treatment with the benralizumab injection also took longer to fail, meaning fewer visits to a GP or hospital for patients, researchers said. Furthermore, people also reported a better quality of life on the new regime. Scientists at King’s said steroids can have severe side-effects such as increasing the risk of diabetes and osteoporosis, meaning switching to benralizumab could provide huge benefits. Lead investigator Professor Mona Bafadhel, from King’s, said: “This could be a game-changer for people with asthma and COPD. “Treatment for asthma and COPD exacerbations have not changed in 50 years, despite causing 3.8 million deaths worldwide a year combined. “Benralizumab is a safe and effective drug already used to manage severe asthma. “We’ve used the drug in a different way – at the point of an exacerbation – to show that it’s more effective than steroid tablets, which is the only treatment currently available.” Researchers said benralizumab could also potentially be administered safely at home or in a GP practice, as well as in A&E. First author Dr Sanjay Ramakrishnan, clinical senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia, said: “Our study shows massive promise for asthma and COPD treatment. “COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide but treatment for the condition is stuck in the 20th century. “We need to provide these patients with life-saving options before their time runs out.” Dr Samantha Walker, director of research and innovation at Asthma and Lung UK, welcomed the findings but said: “It’s appalling that this is the first new treatment for those suffering from asthma and COPD attacks in 50 years, indicating how desperately underfunded lung health research is.” AstraZeneca provided the drug for the study and funded the research, but had no input into trial design, delivery, analysis or interpretation.

Presidents Biden, Trump, and Clinton laud the legacy of former President Jimmy CarterThai Lion Air is considering operating flights to Nakhon Phanom as part of the government's policy of promoting tourism in secondary tourism cities. Deputy Transport Minister Manaporn Charoensri said yesterday that she had assigned the Department of Airports (DoA) to find ways to add more flights to less visited cities and turn them into primary tourism hubs. This initiative aligns with the ministry's "Transport for Thailand's Opportunities" policy, which aims to enhance the country's economic and social development through travel and transport, she said. Ms Manaporn said that in a recent meeting with the DoA, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand expressed a willingness to relax regulations to favour airlines interested in serving secondary cities. She also said Thai Lion Air, which is looking to add a new route to Nakhon Phanom, may be allowed to do so by cutting red tape. The airline has affirmed it can operate flights to the northeastern province and is discussing the feasibility of this with local agencies. Meanwhile, the Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (Aerothai) confirmed its commitment to support domestic flight routes with a 25% service fee discount. It will also organise short-haul routes linking Laos, Vietnam and Nakhon Phanom if airlines want to add new international flights. Currently, flights between Bangkok and Nakhon Phanom are operated exclusively by Thai AirAsia, at the rate of three a day. Due to limited options, many passengers choose to fly to Sakon Nakhon, a nearby province, before travelling by land to Nakhon Phanom to save on fares, which are sometimes as high as 5,500 baht for a one-way ticket. With Thai Lion Air set to add four aircraft to its fleet by the end of this year and 14 more in 2025, the airline said it sees Nakhon Phanom as a promising tourist destination.

The findings are from the Jharkhand Assembly Election Study 2024 that was conducted by the Lokniti programme of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), Delhi, between November 12-19, 2024. A total of 3,035 respondents were interviewed across 30 Assembly Constituencies and 150 polling stations of Jharkhand. Using multi-stage random sampling, this procedure ensured that the selected sample was fully representative of the cross-section of voters. The constituencies where the survey was conducted were randomly selected using the probability proportional to size method (adjusting the probability of choosing a particular constituency according to the size of its electorate). Thereafter, five polling stations were selected in each of the sampled constituencies using the systematic random sampling method. Finally, 40 respondents were selected at random using the systematic random sampling method from the electoral rolls of the sampled polling stations. Of these 40, we set a target of 20 interviews per polling station. Once we identified our sample, trained field investigators conducted face-to-face interviews using a pre-designed mobile App. The questionnaire was translated into Hindi. Though the sample is relatively small, the total number of voters interviewed represent the social reality of the voters in Jharkhand, i.e., the sample is truly representative with regard to the social composition of the State. Weights were applied to make corrections for under-representation of any social groups. Weights were also applied based on the actual result. The study was directed by Sanjay Kumar, Suhas Palshikar and Sandeep Shastri.

Australians doubt Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s world-leading plan to ban children from social media will work, and fewer than half would be willing to hand over their ID to tech companies if required under the new laws. While findings from the latest Resolve Political Monitor show most Australians support the idea of banning social media for people under 16 years of age – which became a major plank of Albanese’s policy agenda in the second half of this year – they lack faith the government can execute it. Resolve suggests most Australians back a social media block on teenagers – but are not sure if it will work. Credit: iStock, Nathan Perri The findings highlight a risk for Labor and scepticism among voters as Albanese heads to the next election pursuing a broader tech crackdown, including a fresh proposal last week to force social media companies to pay for journalism through a new bargaining incentive. The government has pitched itself as acting on reports of bullying, aggression, sexualisation and other challenges faced by young people on social media, as well as declining mental health. “Parents are worried sick about this,” Albanese said earlier this year. “The safety and mental and physical health of our young people is paramount.” Most people agree: 58 per cent of people support the policy, including 67 per cent of Labor voters and 59 per cent of Coalition voters. Just 18 per cent don’t like it, and 24 per cent are unsure. But Australians have low confidence it will work. As the world watches what happens next , 68 per cent of people said they didn’t expect it would be effective. Similar overseas schemes, such as the UK’s attempt to stop children watching online porn, have been unsuccessful . Albanese has conceded new laws won’t “fix everything immediately”. “We have laws such as people can’t buy alcohol if they’re under 18, and from time to time that can be broken. But those laws set what the parameters are for our society, and they assist in ensuring the right outcomes,” he said last month. Just a quarter of voters surveyed thought the plan could be executed effectively, and only 4 per cent were “very confident”. Most others – 68 per cent – did not think it would work. Just 8 per cent were unsure. Parents were more likely to support banning children from social media, with 62 per cent in favour compared with 54 per cent of people without children. But they were less confident it could be put into practice: only 24 per cent of parents had any confidence in its efficacy, compared with 26 per cent without children. The federal government did not stipulate how the ban should be enforced as it raced through legislation by year’s end. Instead, it will leave that decision up to the big technology companies and slap them with fines of up to $50 million if they fail to keep children off their platforms. Some conservative MPs and digital rights activists have raised concerns about whether age-assurance technologies would need to be backed up by a digital ID, though Communications Minister Michelle Rowland has said people would not have to upload proof of identity directly to social media platforms. Voters surveyed in the Resolve poll were split over whether they would hand their ID to social media platforms if required, with 42 per cent saying they were likely to do so but 45 per cent expressing reluctance. Labor voters were most likely to comply, with 49 per cent saying they’d hand over identification if required, compared with 37 per cent who did not want to. Coalition voters were less keen, with 43 per cent willing to comply and 45 per cent reluctant. People who did not vote for the major parties were least likely to say they would hand over ID: 51 per cent were reluctant, compared with 36 per cent who would comply. Even though parents were more supportive of the plan, they were less likely than people without children to want to hand over identification (43 per cent versus 41 per cent). However, handing over ID is not the only method social media companies could use to comply with the legislation. Tony Allen, who leads the company that will trial technologies for the government, told this masthead there were three toolkit options for social media platforms. The first is age verification: using a digital ID, driver’s licence, passport or other records. This could be done by third parties to avoid directly handing IDs to social media companies. The second option is age estimation: tools that analyse biological or behavioural features that change with age, such as the depth of a person’s voice or their wrinkles. The third is age inference, which assumes someone’s age based on information, such as their purchase history or online activity.

Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. Megachurch founder T.D. Jakes suffers health incident during sermon at Dallas church DALLAS (AP) — The founder of Dallas-based megachurch The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was hospitalized after suffering what the church called a “slight health incident.” Jakes was speaking to churchgoers after he sat down and began trembling as several people gathered around him Sunday at the church. Jakes' daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts said in a statement on social media late Sunday that Jakes was improving. The 67-year-old Jakes founded the non-denominational The Potter's House in 1996 and his website says it now has more than 30,000 members with campuses in Fort Worth and Frisco, Texas; and in Denver. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year. Pilot dies in plane crash in remote woods of New York, puppy found alive WINDHAM, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a pilot and at least one dog he was transporting died when a small plane crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains, though a puppy on the flight was found alive with two broken legs. The Greene County sheriff’s office says Seuk Kim of Springfield, Virginia, was flying from Maryland to Albany, New York, when the plane crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday in a remote area. Officials believe the pilot died from the impact. The surviving dog was hospitalized, while a third dog was not located. The flight was connected with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by announcing plans Monday to hand more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006. Pop star Ed Sheeran apologizes to Man United boss Ruben Amorim for crashing interview MANCHESTER, England (AP) — British pop star Ed Sheeran has apologized to Ruben Amorim after inadvertently interrupting the new Manchester United head coach during a live television interview.

He was pictured celebrating after Omari Hutchinson’s equalizing goal in the game at Portman Road. A desert oasis outside of Dubai draws a new caravan: A family of rodents from Argentina AL QUDRA LAKES, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A desert oasis hidden away in the dunes in the far reaches of skyscraper-studded Dubai has drawn a surprising new set of weary world travelers: a pack of Argentinian rodents. A number of Patagonian mara, a rabbit-like mammal with long legs, big ears and a body like a hoofed animal, now roam the grounds of Al Qudra Lakes, typically home to gazelle and other desert creatures of the United Arab Emirates. How they got there remains a mystery in the UAE, a country where exotic animals have ended up in the private homes and farms of the wealthy. But the pack appears to be thriving there and likely have survived several years already in a network of warrens among the dunes.Pilatus PC-21: What To Know About The Royal Canadian Air Force's Next-Gen Trainers
Gaetz’s withdrawal from attorney general consideration a good move, Ryan, Molinaro say
Earlier this week, Jay Leno was injured after he took a tumble down a 60-foot hill outside a hotel in Pennsylvania. Allegedly the former Tonight Show host was trying to find his way to a restaurant to order some food. However, not everything adds up in this story about an aging comedian falling down a dirt path. On November 19, Inside Edition caught up with the very bruised and battered Jay Leno in Beverly Hills, California. He told the outlet that while staying at a Hampton Inn outside of Pittsburgh, he tried to take a shortcut to a restaurant down a steep hill instead of walking a “mile and a half down the road.” He lost his footing and rolled down the hill, hitting several rocks on a small dirt path on his way down. As a result of his fall he broke his wrist, lost a fingernail, gave himself a big shiner on his left eye and bruised much of his face. Three hours later, Leno—now wearing an eye patch—did his comedy show as planned, then went to a hospital after arriving back in Los Angeles, he says. Jay Leno did in fact fall down a small but steep hill and got injured. That much is true. And if that’s good enough for you, then you can stop reading right now. But I have questions about everything else. Questions about Jay Leno’s Fall For starters, Inside Edition later reported that after his fall, Leno arrived at a restaurant near the hotel called The Boulevard and ordered a chicken parm. The manager of the restaurant told Inside Edition that Leno arrived at the place without a reservation for lunch, ordered the dish with some garlic bread and then left. However, The Boulevard is a restaurant located about 750 feet away from the hotel. That’s not too far away, but Leno told Inside Edition he didn’t have a car at the time. (Which is very ironic considering how many cars this dude owns .) Meanwhile, down that hill where Leno took his fall, there is a sports bar that specializes in selling wings. And according to a Reddit post , this is actually where Leno was heading when he fell. They suggest that Leno was craving some Buffalo wings and took the dirt path that had been cut into the hill by other people taking that same shortcut, didn’t realize how steep it was, and fell. And this makes sense because in a different interview with TMZ , Leno says that someone at the hotel told him that there was a a good place to eat at “the bottom of this hill.” That sounds like someone pointing Leno to the sports bar at the bottom of the small hill, and not the restaurant up the road for some chicken parm. Adding credence to this theory is the fact after his tumble, Leno visited a local CVS and bought an eye patch, as documented by a worker via a selfie. The nearest CVS is just up the road from the sports bar . And yet, there’s the small problem that nobody at the sports bar remembers Leno entering and ordering anything that day. Local news site Triblive reports that the manager on shift that day doesn’t remember Leno showing up, and nobody he asked could recall seeing the comedian eat some wings. So that seems to indicate that the manager at The Boulevard was telling the truth and that Leno walked down to the joint, had some chicken parm, and then left short after falling down the hill and hurting himself. But it’s also possible that someone is trying to spin a good story so a major news outlet will highlight the location for some free publicity. What (Probably) Happened, Maybe... I’ve tried to piece together the stories and comments from Leno and everyone else, and I think this is what happened. Leno was told he could get some food at a place down the hill from the hotel. He walks out, tries to take a shortcut, and falls. Injured, he likely calls someone (or someone is with him and sees it happen) and they grab a car. At this point, someone points out that the restaurant is actually down the road and not in the parking lot near the hotel. So they head over to The Boulevard, Leno orders his chicken parm, eats it, and they drive back up that same road to the CVS at the intersection. He gets what he needs, takes a selfie, and then they continue back on East Pittsburgh street and arrive at the theater so he can do his show. Or, Leno got mixed up as to when or where he fell and not everyone remembers what happened clearly and he did eat some wings at that sports bar but nobody noticed because, I mean, how big a star is Jay Leno in 2024? And maybe later Leno had chicken parm at that other place for dinner and the manager is confused about the timing. Now I’m going to put away my maps and red string and stop thinking about this. Enjoy your Friday and the rest of the weekend. And be careful walking down hills. .
